AB  - A  young  man  presented  with  painful  blisters  on  his  face  and  mouth  (Figure  193-1).  The  patient  was  referred  to  dermatology.  Suspecting  pemphigus  vulgaris  (PV),  the  physician  performed  shave  biopsies  for  histopathology  and  direct  immunofluorescence  of  facial  vesicles/bullae  to  confirm  the  presumed  diagnosis.  The  patient  was  started  on  60  mg  of  prednisone  daily  until  the  pathology  confirmed  PV.  Steroid-sparing  therapy  was  then  discussed  and  started  2  weeks  after  initial  presentation.
